The figure stands out for its large size. good condition The rise of the Fat Lady as a popular image of Chinese identity first appeared under the Zhou dynasty, which briefly interrupted the Tang dynasty. Women were idealized and heroized. The most famous court lady, Yang Guifei, consort of Emperor Xuanzong (712-756), is said to have greatly shaped women's fashion. Clothing and fashion adapted to Yang's more mature figure and, for the first time, long, flowing robes with high necklines became court fashion accompanied by elaborate hairstyles. A particular hairstyle is often seen in sculptures of the Fat Ladies, which were made famous by the following story: One day, returning from a hunting trip, Yang fell from her horse and her high hairstyle fell off. On the one hand. If anything, the deliciously disheveled state of her hair made her look even more beautiful. Not in vain, the other ladies of the palace soon copied her style, with her disheveled appearance. Yang's influence would last for generations. Previously, the taste for women, especially concubines, had been oriented towards slender women. The new fashion of the Tang Dynasty preferred the plumper figure. The plump women of the supreme court were enjoying their heyday. They were depicted in art and poetry and became popular in the royal household. The typical Fat Ladies Tang style is characterized by its wide shape that is clearly shown with rounded, rosy cheeks and a curved stomach. They have a mature, modest and elegant figure. Her hands are placed delicately, resting in front of her stomach or raised in different styles. Her locks often resemble the limitless nature described in Yang's story, freed from her limitations thanks to her horseback escapade.
